Andrei Nekrasov's statement for the Norwegian Helsinki Committee Magnitsky Hearing
At the Q/A following the premiere of my film, "The Magnitsky Act - Behind the Scenes", in Oslo in June 2016, the Deputy Secretary of NHC Gunnar Ekeløve-Slydal put forward the idea of a hearing on the Magnitsky case. I welcomed it with enthusiasm and we, together with my colleagues at Piraya Film, went on to discuss it for quite a while. We agreed that it should be impartial and balanced, in terms of the choice of speakers and agenda. Well, today at this event, I am, basically, alone, outnumbered by, probably, a factor of 20.
(as prepared; the statement was, for the lack of time, orally delivered with minor omissions, which did not alter its intended meaning)
Oslo, November 22, 2017
Olesya Shmagun, Investigative Journalist, Novaya Gazeta, Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP); Anton Pominov, Director General, Transparency International Russia;Andrei Nekrasov, Film Director; Vadim Kleiner, Head of Research, Hermitage, Justice for Sergei Magnitsky Campaign; Valery Borschev, Chairman of the Moscow City Public Oversight Commission, member of the Moscow Helsinki Committee
It would be disingenuous not to recognise that every speaker here, apart from myself, represents Bill Browder's version of his Russian activities and Sergei Magnitsky's role in the affair. And - five minutes is all I am given to present my case.
This event is completely biased also because in its Dossier (sent to all registered participants, while I, by the way, have only received it last night) Browder's version is presented as the objective truth about the case, while the whole point of such a hearing should have been to look impartially at the story from all angles. Instead the story I dispute is painted as axiomatic fact, while my findings, which I worked on independently for many years, are called "defamatory allegations" perpetuating "Russian government disinformation".
The Dossier contains a list of claims the film allegedly makes, each followed by a "rebuttal". Instead of allowing the film to speak for itself NHC (which has declined to show the film) interprets the film's findings in the way it sees fit for the "rebuttals". But interpretations themselves are wrong! And I am not given the time to elucidate what is supposed to be my version of the events, before we even get to the so-called rebuttals. They are of course replete with misrepresentations as well.
Who is the author of this damning analysis of my work – Norwegian Helsinki Committee? Who at the committee has been watching the film, reading and analysing its documentation to interpret it in the way it is interpreted in the Dossier? Who was providing other documents for the Dossier and interpreting them? I want to know that, because I want to confront this expert on specifics he or she should understand, while I wonder why he or she has made so many mistakes? And why such an obvious bias? The only explanation I have is that the expert is Mr Browder or a member of his team. If I am wrong it would be nice and fair to be introduced to my mysterious prolific opponent before this hearing is over, thank you very much.
As I said, this hearing's set-up is preventing me from presenting and defending my case, and I have to pick a random point to give you an example. Take a sentence, with Magnitsky's name in it. In the "Magnitsky Dossier"on the page 126, 2e) we read:
"Magnitsky's investigation and preparation of the complaints filed on 23rd of July 2008 about the theft of over 5 billion rubles (≈ US$230 million)."
How many of you have clicked on this link to Magnitsky's investigation? This sounds important, doesn't it? I am known for claiming Magnitsky didn't actually investigate anything, so NHC seems to be proving me wrong here. Well if you do click you see something signed by a certain Paul Wrench. No trace of Magnitsky. So where's the evidence Magnitsky investigated something?
And who is Paul Wrench then? He's a professional figurehead director fronting many different off-shore firms including those which were controlled by Bill Browder. Paul Wrench's signature is on the complaint to the Russian authorities claiming 230 million dollars was stolen with the help of police. Paul Wrench was questioned about this complaint, under oath at the U.S. District Court Southern District of New York on Sept 25, 2015. He said the only person he recalled discussing the content of the complaint with was Ivan Cherkasov, a U.K. based partner of Bill Browder. Again, no sign of Magnitsky.
So Paul Wrench seems to be the first person to report the 230 million dollar theft. So is he our whistleblower?
Here I'd like us to think what it exactly means to be a whistleblower.
At the same time as this complaint appeared, the story was published in a Russian newspaper (Vedomosti, № 2158 on July 24, 2008). The article was actually more detailed than Paul Wrench's complaint. So if the tale of a theft of 230 million dollars involving police was so dangerous for them to arrest and kill Magnitsky (IF he'd been the one to report it), what happened to the journalists who in reality reported it? The answer is – nothing. Moreover a few days later (July 29, 2008) it was… suspense! - Bill Browder himself who told the terrifying story of the theft involving police – on a Moscow radio station! Again – no repercussions for those who aired this story. And more media information followed.
Mr Browder was telling me and the whole world that Magnitsky had reported the theft of 230 million dollars on Oct. 7 2008. That is, after all those publications about the theft in the Russian media. Even without them, saying something about a theft would not have been significant or dangerous, unless Magnitsky had some real evidence. And Mr Browder did try to claim that Magnitsky had actually proven the money had been stolen by the police. But not only is there no such proof, the document Browder refers to as Magnitsky's exposing the officers' involvement in the theft of 230 million (a transcript of the police questioning of Magnitsky on Oct. 7 2008) does not even contain their names.
But Browder and his team themselves only called Magnitsky whistleblower retrospectively. There's an interesting video they created, uploaded on Oct 8 2009 (just a month before Magnitsky's death), on Youtube channel "Hermitage TV": "Hermitage Reveals Russian Police Fraud." Magnitsky had been in Russian gaol for over 10 months by then, tortured for his whistleblowing every single day, according to what Browder is saying now! But not at the time. Browder just mentions Magnitsky briefly, calling him a consultant, but there's not a word about Magnitsky's investigation, accusation of police, police trying to force him to withdraw accusations and all other things Browder is now saying he knew well at the time.
When I said to NHC that they relied in my view a little too much on Mr Browder's sources, they referred to such an authoritative document as the Magnitsky report by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Surely, that should be independent and very well researched. The report, signed by a well known Swiss politician Andreas Gross, is included in its entirety in the Dossier.
Well, in my film, Mr Gross admits that all crucial Magnitsky documents came from Browder's sources. He also says that U.S. did not investigate the case before adopting the Magnitsky Act, though Browder "must have delivered them something". In addition Andreas Gross admits that Magnitsky was not killed, but died of negligence.
However Mr Gross's report itself is full of serious mistakes. Not having the time to go into detail, I'll cite just one – on the Magnitsky case timeline: Gross' TIMELINE Page 74
"5/6/2008: testimony by Mr Magnitsky accusing Lt. Col. Kuznetsov and Major Karpov of involvement in the company thefts and tax reimbursement fraud."
This statement, which refers to the key issue of one of the most divisive narratives of international politics, is simply false. Magnitsky did not accuse Kuznetsov and Karpov of the crime at the centre of the Magnitsky case - the involvement in the tax reimbursement fraud, neither on this date ("5/6/2008") nor on the date (Oct 7 2008) Mr Browder claimed he did.
The Browder team has been misrepresenting Magnitsky's answers to an investigator (that's what his statements are, not a pro-active whistleblower testimony) on June 5 and October 7 2008, and I wrote a statement for the U.S. Congress (Page 63) to elucidate the matter.
It is astonishing that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe tolerates this level of incompetence, or worse: improper influence by a financially powerful individual under investigation in the case.
Let me quote from what an American judge had to say of Mr Gross' Report. William H. Pauley, a U.S. district court Federal Judge of Southern District of New York concluded: Source: (pacer.org) Transcript of hearing United States District Court Southern District of New York, May 3, 2017;
"It… suffers from a lack of trustworthiness, having read it.
(...) There doesn't appear to have ever been an actual hearing conducted following the dissemination of Gross's report or any drafts of his report."
"There's no evidence that an actual hearing with the appropriate procedural safeguards was actually conducted.
Finally, the inception of this report appears to have been predicated on a series of events that bring into question certain motivational problems. The Gross report cites "earlier work" of the assembly regarding Magnitsky's death. One of the events that may have colored the investigation from the outset is William Browder's interference with the assembly's work.
In June 2011, it appears that Browder "made an intervention at a parliamentary seminar" at a meeting of the committee that ultimately authorized Gross's involvement in conducting his investigation.
Further, the Gross report is replete with statements from witnesses that are sympathetic to Magnitsky and Browder, among others. There's several individuals who were paid and directed by Hermitage to investigate Magnitsky-related events who were interviewed by Gross.
While Gross cites certain conversations he had with Russian officials and the documents he received from them, those references are eclipsed by the statements and opinions by Browder, Hermitage, and other self-interested parties."
"In other words, the Gross report is some piece of work and I mean that in hyperbole."
And, as I've exhausted the surprisingly small amount of time I've been given here, I'm concluding with another quotation, from a Russia expert of the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, Robert Otto. In an email sent at the time when Mr Browder's lawyers were working hard to ban our film, Mr Otto wrote:
27 APRIL 2016 Page 187
"Meanwhile I am beginning to think that we are all just a part of the Browder PR machine (...) Here I will just quote from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence (a 60s Hollywood classic movie - A.N.): When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."

Hochatown BBQ restaurant owner Tom Verace recalls childhood visits to the vacation mecca of Wisconsin Dells, eating at a restaurant where a live Black Bart character sauntered around in cowboy duds. A half century later, Tom runs his own cluster of tourist-friendly businesses north of Broken Bow: a BBQ restaurant, gift shop, ice cream parlor, and an 18-hole mini-golf with a wild west theme (featuring frontier town buildings populated by dummies such as the sheriff and an undertaker).
The mascot art for the golf course had always been a cowboy with a tall black hat and a droopy mustache, so it served as the inspiration for a custom Muffler Man creation. Tom had the figure manufactured by Bell Plastics in Hayward, California. The statue molds are based on classic M-Men that Bell Plastics keeps in their collection, along with custom elements -- the exaggerated black stetson, a neckerchief, and a mustache. The paint job artfully sculpts shadows, clothing creases and wrinkles.
The giant, named "Jeb," holds a large golf club, and took a spot on a 5-ft. platform at the entrance to the mini-golf in March 2017.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by Addacus, Sep 18, 2011.
Okay all, this might be a noob question but if so forgive me because I ~AM~ a noob.
I know there are several ways to get more storage on your phone, but is there any way to actually get more RAM on your phone? I was hoping there would be some app that would allow me to create an external pagefile on my SD card, but so far I have not found anything.
Am I stupid for even trying to look for this, is it possible? Or am I just completely missing the point here.
As always, any and all help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You have the right idea, but wrong implementation of it.
You could run swap partiton the sd card with swap included.
swap is linux version of virtual memory, or pagefile.
However as I explained in another post on here somewhere android is better off without swap.


The damage from the recession is done. As the economy begins its tender steps to recovery, it is time to focus on growing, or re-growing, revenues and boosting profits. A recent survey from Gartner Inc. confirms that "IT-enabled changes will be a key element in their (CEOs) post-recession strategy."
For this strategy to succeed, the best organizations will need both "IT-smart business leaders and business-smart IT leaders," this according to Susan Cramm, former CFO, CIO and author of a posting on Harvard Business Review's blog. Her survey exploring the IT and business-leader relationship found different results depending upon the "IT smarts" of each business.
Cramm's results suggest it may be worth CIOs' efforts to educate business leaders on the value of IT because "as companies become smarter about IT, they change how they manage IT assets." For example, 90% of leaders at "'IT smart" firms say business leaders drive IT-enabled business change" compared to only 21% at "IT dumb" organizations.
But, CIOs will not have "carte blanc" regarding IT spending. According to Gartner, "CIOs are advised not to expect 2010 budget increases, rather to expect to finance future IT projects from the cost savings obtained from existing IT operations."

Ghost in the Shell: The Major's Body (8)
In Opinion
Claire Napier
The Major, or Motoko Kusanagi, is the protagonist of each incarnation of the Ghost in the Shell manga-anime-merchadise franchise.

The Major, or Motoko Kusanagi, is the protagonist of each incarnation of the Ghost in the Shell manga-anime-merchadise franchise. If you care to google, "Motoko Kusanagi is" autocompletes to "a man" and "is hot," then "in bed with a boy" and "in bed." For a science-fiction philosophy character named for her military position, we (the audience — although I don't limit this to those who have experienced the fiction, as the Major is iconic) sure are caught up in thinking about her gender and sexual status. This is part seven of a pan-franchise series (find previous parts here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
Stand Alone Complex' Batou spends his time weight training though his cybermuscles don't need it. We understand why, right? Time has to be passed.
I got a lot of exercise during this third episode of Arise: Ghost Tears. Because it was too agitating to watch straight. Time has to pass, but sometimes time needs help. Exasperation, too. Worse than Man-Machine Interface, this was a hard watch. To see the Major become so girled.
It is not internalised misogyny this time. It is not my weakness to want to keep some characters like this, when it's perfectly alright for others or anyone real to be like that. It is OK to want to keep the Major stoic, and in the masculinised social roles, and in full creative charge of her team (Aramaki telling her their deficit, the Major angrily rejecting his advice, Borma making personal contact, leading to Togusa's enrolment? Please!). It's OK not to want her to have a boyfriend, or to see her team make jokes about how, in more careful words but sharp enough gist, she is a slutty abuser. It is OK to be tired of women slapping subordinate men for their cheek, which is what it means when Kusanagi's ghost hack makes Batou punch his own face, again, twice.
Mummies alive, it's OK to reject the notion of our boundless hero the Major sulking — pouting! — when her boyfriend of three months rejects her tentative offer of coming to work with her. It's not even personal; he just doesn't want to work for the military or the police. There's a part of me that's crying. She's a baby.
In this episode, the Major's body is:
entered by a socially and potentially emotionally dominant consciousness (male, her technomedic, romantic attachment)
entered by a virus
carried, newlywed-style, in her own home
turned into a bomb (without her consent)
Via com link, Batou interrupts the Major during a tryst. Familar: Shirow's manga, the hallucinogenic go-hard all-woman group sex on a boat (see pt. 4). Arise has a different plan; gentle smiling underwater kisses with a pretty man in a limp pose. Batou says,
That's familiar too, right? The boyfriend Shirow gave her in chapter eight. It's a different period of time, a different internal dynamic, and Batou and the major's relationship is different too, but hey: no biggie, let's steal it anyway.
As I mentioned above, we hear her all-male team gossiping about her personal life. She dates men, apparently exclusively, and if they quarrel she beats them up. Empowered or what, rite? She may have emotions but she's still tuff! Responding, Paz repeats the line we knew him through in Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig;
I never sleep with the same woman twice.
In that series he said it to the Major the night they met. In that series, that phrase was deconstructed. The philosophy behind it, the behaviour created around that personal mythology, led to psychosis and murder. Important note: Paz is also foxier in that series.
Back in the opening scene, as the Major leaves her lover to go back to work, she apologises with regret and desire. Compare to the shrugging cant-be-helped of the manga. Boys win!
A later Section 9 meeting: I'm halfway through these chill-out stretches and they're working for me. I look up and see Anna Williams. Oh for fuck SAKE, I cry! That's a horrible dress. And she's going to a wedding.
Batou, I love you so much, but I hate your stupid fringe. I hate your retconed green eyes and I hate your obnoxious misogyny. Arise? More like ugh, guys. I hate how stupid this dialogue is, even if it wasn't sexist and cruel:
He means her boyfriend
She's ALWAYS wearing heels, you fucking dork. I'm talking to your puppetmaster, Batou. Who wrote this shit? Did they communicate with the animators at any point? It doesn't make it better that this is the second retaliatory ghost hack/face punch of the episode. Word of god "excuses" him, and further frames her as an abusive personality: a slap would be absurd, but at least it wouldn't be stolen autonomy. A ghost hack is Imperio.
This same episode — the one that rips first one leg, then both, from her red leather trousers — gives us a dirty sax solo's worth of bitch-heels from Kusanagi. Flashback to Sleepless Eye's foot of discipline.
I want to be flippant about this but look how high they are. She's having leg trouble in this episode! Spasms and repetitive pain. Why is she wearing these? How do they help her? They can't, so it must be for her image. Is this part of her childhood choice to make her body "orthodox"? They're higher than they were in previous episodes. It's not about her.
The focus of consideration for this episode should fall upon the discussion of cyberbodies and cyberised life between Motoko and boyfriend Akira. Unfortunately it does very little for me, and there's rather little of it. Motoko eats some new, cyborg-friendly, enhanced beef. She experiences "a good taste". The scene moves on. Akira mentions that old people can look and live like young people. So what? He says the cyberised bride is pregnant. And? I've seen Cyborg 3, this ain't new. Do something with it. The Major's attitude to taste could mean so much to me!
The episode makes a lot of it, but metaphor sex is actually not that interesting to me. Intimacy is yours to define; people "doing it" is people doing it, whatever "it" is for them. There's no philosophy for me there. It's all covered by that early Transmetropolitan panel of people in an alley plugging their tongues together. That's it, that's all. Motoko and Akira borrow each others' bodies, communicate in cyberspace, do a mind kiss. ~~Futuresex~~
But I'm pretty downhearted that we don't view the boyfriend's genital area. Now, I'm ten thousand years shock if this creative team is future-thinking enough to create a boyfriend without a penis, particularly for reasons of gender fluidity. But even in the most basic regressive binary terms, I want to see the Major's boyfriend's dick. I want to learn about how a cyber-cis man feels about his prosthetic penis. I would like something to think on. And creators — this is an area where some of your team might have a lot to say?
Ghost Tears is a feature-length episode of Ghost in the Shell wherein Motoko Kusanagi's boyfriend, who humanises her frightened heart with words and fixes her manufactured body with his practiced hands, betrays her to death in the name of politics, having been inspired by her previous identity de guerre — which she abandoned in the hope of finding ghost-peace in bodily settlement.
It sounds so emotionally dense in that paragraph, doesn't it?
Look at her tenderly hold herself close to him. Do I, a human woman of some force, hold my lover's arm that way? I'm not the Major, bud.
Hey dickhead, I hate your shirt. I hate your vanilla hemp shirt and your nothingy niceguy politics. I hate your motivation for one of your two roles, which is supposed to mitigate the criminality in the other. I hate that the Major is interested in you, and I hate that she needs your validation. I hate that you're so safe. I hate how misty an echo of 2nd Gig's Kuze you are. I hate that the Major is reduced to you.
I hate that Batou, with all of his faults, isn't enough of a white knight for this series.
Akira, I hate that this year the Major's body relies on an everyman like you.
Next: The last time. Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig. Absorb your inner child.

For many marketers measuring social media ROI is a daunting challenge, one we're not quite yet sure how to meet, but an objective we continue to strive toward, driven by the need to understand channel effectiveness, achieve budget efficiencies and answer senior management calls to justify investment in new media.
Yesterday, I joined the IPA Social Works panel to chat Social ROI: the possibilities and impossibilities, and what steps brands can take to set campaigns up for measurement success.
There is no one-size fits all answer. There is no single metric or type of analysis that will suit every campaign or activity, simply because different campaigns and activities will often have different objectives. The first crucial step is to clearly define these specific objectives and the purpose of measurement, which could be to inform a variety of decisions. An appropriate measurement approach can then be adopted.
Social media and social media measurement will continue to evolve. Social media, as a channel, is continually changing. New platforms such as Snapchat appear and become mainstream with different applications or demographics, and, as each platform evolves, so too does the way in which consumers and brands use them. Measurement techniques must evolve alongside the channel. Brands are more likely to make the most of what social media measurement can offer if they base their measurement approach on an adaptable set of best practice principles rather than adhering to an inflexible set of best practice rules.
Social media should be held to the same measurement standards as other channels. As a relatively new channel, brands' approach to social media have often tended to polarise to one of two extremes: Some, for whom social media falls well outside their comfort zone, have set the bar for justifying spend on social media well above the same bar for other channels. Conversely, other brands do not to associate social media with other channels. It is simply seen as a necessary presence and provides a different class of engagement and value for which measurement is not required.
Effective measurement often requires organisational change. Social media is a channel which bridges paid, owned and earned media and which can have multiple functions – for example spanning marketing, PR and customer service. As a consequence responsibility for managing social media can sit in different and often multiple teams. A cross team, uniform approach to social media is key to unlocking its business value and to integrating social media measurement with that of other channels.
Robust examples of measuring true business value are currently few and far between but collaboration across industry bodies, clients, agencies and the platforms themselves will see more shared over time. The IPA Social Works group has set the ball rolling by inviting clients and agencies to submit case studies for review. Over 130 have been received to date, and of these just 25 have passed to peer review with 8 deemed robust best practice examples and featured on the IPA Social Works' website.
The number of case studies passed is representative of where the market currently is and the challenge brands are facing. As the measurement approaches and findings of these first examples are shared collective knowledge will grow and more are expected to filter through.

At Breaking Point – Five managers who could replace Mikel Arteta at Arsenal
England will look to build on their winning start in the UEFA Nations League when they take on Denmark at the Telia Parken on Tuesday night.
Matchday 2 of the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League kicked off on Sunday and will continue till Tuesday. A number of high-profile fixtures will take place on the final day, one of which will come from the Telia Parken in Copenhagen, where Denmark will play hosts to England in a Group A2 encounter.
Denmark kicked off their campaign on a disappointing note, as they were handed a 2-0 defeat by Belgium earlier in the week. This has put them at the bottom of the group, level on points with Iceland in third place, but with a worse goal difference.
England, on the other hand, were made to work hard by the Icelanders on Saturday. But, a late penalty from Raheem Sterling ensured that the Three Lions just about managed to get across the finish line. Gareth Southgate's men are second in the group, with leaders Belgium boasting a better goal difference.
In what will be the 20th encounter between Denmark and England, The Hard Tackle takes a closer look at both the teams.
Team News & Tactics
Christian Eriksen will hold the key for Denmark (Photo by Harry Trump/Getty Images)
Manager Kasper Hjulmand has a strong squad at his disposal, with just one uncapped player in the ranks – Christian Norgaard. In spite of the defeat to Belgium, the manager is unlikely to make a host of changes and stick with most of the players that started last time out.
There is no looking past Kasper Schmeichel in goal for Denmark. Captain Simon Kjaer started at the heart of the defence alongside Andreas Christensen in the previous game, but the latter could make way for Mathias 'Zanka' Jorgensen on Tuesday, while Henrik Dalsgaard replaces Daniel Wass at right-back. Robert Skov should continue as the left-back.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg should line up at the base of the midfield and will face a number of his new teammates from Tottenham. He will have support from Borussia Dortmund midfielder Thomas Delaney, while Christian Eriksen, who is the most capped player in the current Denmark squad, will provide the creative impetus.
Yussuf Poulsen should continue on the right flank for the hosts, but there could be a change on the left, with Jacob Bruun Larsen in line to replace Martin Braithwaite. Kasper Dolberg started the last game as the centre-forward, but could be benched in favour of Andreas Cornelius.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Schmeichel; Dalsgaard, Kjaer, Zanka, Skov; Eriksen, Hojbjerg, Delaney; Poulsen, Cornelius, Larsen
Southgate will be without the services of full-back Kyle Walker who was sent off in the win against Iceland. The Three Lions come into the game with five uncapped players – Dean Henderson, Conor Coady, Jack Grealish, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Kalvin Phillips. Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden have been axed from the squad after breaching COVID guidelines.

Jordan Pickford started in goal last time out and wasn't tested much and is likely to feature again, ahead of Henderson and Nick Pope.
Walker's absence will pave the way for Trent Alexander-Arnold to start at right-back, while Joe Gomez and Eric Dier are likely to pair up at the heart of the defence again. With no natural left-back in the squad, Kieran Trippier started last time out, and the manager is likely to stick with him again over Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Kalvin Phillips will be hoping to make his debut, but is likely to have to wait, with Declan Rice set to start as the deepest of the three central midfielders for the Three Lions. James Ward-Prowse is expected to retain his place in the side, while Mason Mount should come in for the axed Foden.
Although Southgate has plenty of quality options in attack, he is likely to stick with the trio of Jadon Sancho, captain Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling, who was England's match-winner on Saturday.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Dier, Trippier; Ward-Prowse, Rice, Mount; Sancho, Kane, Sterling
Tuesday's contest will be the twentieth meeting between England and Denmark. As far as head-to-head record is concerned, England have the clear upper-hand, having won 12 of those fixtures, while losing just three (D4).
The last meeting between the two teams happened in March 2014, in a friendly encounter, with England prevailing 1-0.
England have lost just two of the last ten matches against Denmark (W6 D2). The Three Lions have kept six clean sheets during this run.
Prior to the defeat to Belgium this week, Denmark were on a 15-game unbeaten streak dating back to September 2018.
Gareth Southgate's side have lost just one of their last eight fixtures – a 2-1 defeat to Czech Republic in the UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifiers in October last year.

After a brilliant 2019/20 campaign at club level with Borussia Dortmund, Jadon Sancho looked just as lively for England on Saturday. The 20-year-old caused the Iceland defence plenty of problems with his pace and directness and while he did not score or assist on the night, he did create a few dangerous chances.
With Denmark unlikely to sit as deep as the Icelanders did, the Borussia Dortmund man, who has been linked with a switch to Manchester United all summer, will have more space to run in behind and cause havoc in the final third. Expect another lively performance from the winger.
Denmark 0-1 England
Denmark's 15-game unbeaten streak snapped against Belgium, but the fact that they had gone on such a long run without defeat shows that they can be a hard team to beat. However, England are a top side with so much quality, especially in the attacking third.
Unlike Iceland, Denmark might not sit deep and invite pressure. But this could end up playing into the hands of England, who can hurt the hosts with the pace of the likes of Sancho and Sterling, while the likes of Mason Greenwood and Jack Grealish can also change the game if introduced in the second half.
It will be a tightly-contested encounter, but the Three Lions' strength in attack might just see them get another narrow win on Tuesday night.

1 List of expected behaviors for KStars 4.2.
List of expected behaviors for KStars 4.2.
: Does not work at high zoom when refraction corrections are enabled. Possibly because the RefractCorr1 array is not the exact "inverse" map of RefractCorr2 array. The bug is in objectNearest and thus other features are affected too.
: Why are there 2 "Main Toolbar"s? Is this a bug that only I am experiencing?
: What are those blank actions?
: TODO: Check if the altitude / azimuth shown are the real altitude and azimuth and not the back-refracted ones.
: Tracking doesn't lock on the location of a DSO (found using the find dialog) if DSOs are disabled.
: Crashes in QTreeWidgetItem::addChild() upon opening. http://members.bas.org.in/kstar/kstars_scriptbuilder.kcrash <-- backtrace. Crashes when I run it from xterm and hence is mostly related to a failure in DBus connection. Works correctly when run from krunner or konsole, with proper DBus exports.
: Doesn't seem to save GIF files. Produces zero-size gif files.
: Should ideall give an error upon invalid date, but we can't do that for KDE 4.2 release because of the string-freeze.

Complex organic molecules, the building blocks of life, have been discovered in an infant star system for the first time, according to new research.
For some time now, scientists have been trying to determine whether the Red Planet once held water suitable for life, and now new research adds to the growing evidence, finding that belts of glaciers on Mars boast enough water to flood the entire planet.
The image of Luke Skywalker staring at the twin sunsets of his homeplanet Tatooine captured the imagination of millions of movie watchers everywhere. But now astrophysicists are saying that this desert planet may not be just a thing of science fiction, but a reality.
Scientists have discovered signs of ancient water activity on Mars in a now- dried up lake system, adding to growing evidence that the Red Planet was once habitable for life, according to a new study.
Our own Milky Way galaxy harbors thousands of potentially habitable planets, telling scientists that in the search for life not on Earth, they should be looking a little closer to home.
It is well known that Saturn's moon Enceladus harbors a subsurface ocean, but what scientists have just discovered are signs of current hydrothermal activity that may be warming up its seas enough for life to survive.
The search for life on planets outside our solar system has been long and arduous, so when recent research revealed that scientists previously ignored one such "habitable" planet, needless to say it was shocking.
Peanuts Can Make You Live Longer?
Recent research has just revealed that feeding babies peanuts could halt the development of a food allergy, and now a new study indicates that these same nuts can make you live longer.
New Life Form Discovered on Saturn's Moon Titan?
Well...not exactly, but scientists have concluded that if one does exist, this would be what the new life would look like. Living on Saturn's moon Titan, it would have to metabolize and reproduce akin to life on Earth, strengthening the theory that Titan may be habitable, according to new research.
Life on Earth supposedly first flourished about two billion years ago, but now a new analysis finds that living organisms actually emerged earlier than scientists previously thought.
In the hunt for habitable planets around the galaxy, scientists may have just gotten some help. Remarkable research has, for the first time, suggested that extreme Neptune-like planets have the potential to become rocky, habitable worlds.
Scientists may have just gotten some encouragement in their search for other habitable worlds. According to new research, super-Earths likely harbor long-lasting oceans, a hallmark recipe for life on far-away planets.
It seems that certain exoplanets are just too hot to handle. Far-away planets referred to as "mirage Earths" once boasted intense heat during their formation, which unfortunately prevented them from ever becoming habitable, according to a new study.

Hendrick steps in, fires Eury as Earnhardt's crew chief
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. stayed loyal to his cousin and crew chief through last year's frustrating finish and this year's slumping start.
Amid wrong setups, misguided race strategies and pit-road problems, nothing seemed to tear the longtime duo apart.
Until team owner Rick Hendrick had seen enough.
Hendrick removed Tony Eury Jr. from his position as Earnhardt's crew chief Thursday, ending months of speculation concerning the struggles of NASCAR's most popular driver.
"It seemed the harder we pushed, the more it unraveled," Hendrick said. "We need a new reason to get up and go to the track each morning, and the chemistry had broken down between them to the point where we just needed a fresh start."
The pair left Dale Earnhardt Inc. last season to drive for Hendrick Motorsports. But despite driving for NASCAR's top team they have one win in 48 races with Hendrick and are 19th in points, well behind teammates Jeff Gordon (first), Jimmie Johnson (fourth) and Mark Martin (12th).

A Catalogue Of London's Ghost Signs - Forgotten Adverts All Over The City

761 Wandsworth Road, SW1. This advert is for Redfern's Rubber Works, a company founded in 1900 that sold... rubber.
If you know where to look, there are plenty of hints of past Londons.
None more obvious — simply because of their visual strikingness — than ghost signs. These are forgotten adverts, hidden in plain sight all over the city. There were no electronic billboards in the early 20th century, with up-to-the-minute sports results and social media feeds scrolling across them. It was all a little more straightforward back in the day — paint on brick.
And while today's electronic adverts disappear as soon as the new one takes its place, adverts applied to brick and mortar buildings can last for decades. And many have. Writer Helen Cox collated and catalogued some of the ghost signs still visible in London today, in the updated edition of her book Fading London.
Here are some of our favourite ghost signs from the book.
223 Kilburn High Road, NW6. Two different ghost adverts on top of each other, one for Criterion Matches another for Gillette Razors
104 New Cross Road, SE14. Three different adverts here: the most visible is for Nestlé Milk
Effra Road, SW2. Bovril advert possibly dating from the 1920s
31 Kenworthy Street, E9. Player's Please was a slogan for tobacco brand Player's Navy Cut
214 Camden High Street, NW1. Boots were already claiming to be the largest retail chemists in the world by 1912.
17 The Pavement, SW4. Deane & Co. was a chemist in Clapham that was open between 1910 and 1973. That the sign is in such good nick, suggests it was either painted quite late in that run, or repainted over the years.
134 Kingsland Road, E2. This Blooms Piano is so beloved by the community it has a local listing, which should protect it for years to come.
312 Archway Road, N6. Nowadays, some big brands have cottoned onto the popularity of ghost signs and produced imitation ones. This Jack Daniel's advert arrived on Archway Road pre-faded.
50 High Road, NW10. This Willesden Green ghost sign for Saint Paul's Pianos, has been repainted and restored. There are disagreements as to whether it's still a ghost sign.

Compatible fish with Goldfish These are fish that I have found safe to keep with goldfish. Now the Oto catfish can be a problem with fish that like to nip on other fish, so if you have a goldfish that likes to nibble on other goldfish dont place into the tank.
Which Fish Are Compatible With Goldfish? There are a few species that can survive alongside goldfish, including Zebra Danios and White Cloud Mountain Minnows. These fish should never be added to a goldfish tank if the goldfish inside are larger than they are, since large goldfish may eat them.
Goldfish - the three groups of compatible gold fish at AquariumFish.net, a retail gold fish dealer, where you can shop online for goldfish is fun.
Goldfish live in colder water than tropical fish, so you can't get any tropical fish for your tank (that includes cory catfish). I personally can't think of any common fish that would be able to stay with goldfish. There are, however, several types of goldfish that you could get for your tank.
Goldfish Compatibility . When keeping different types of goldfish together in an aquarium, there are several things that should be avoided. Goldfish with large size discrepancies should not be mixed together, because the smaller goldfish could have harder time trying to get its fair share of the food.
